Also, is it important for a garter snake to be housed with a cagemate, or will they be happy on their own?
First. Welcome aboard, from a sunny Coventry.

Second. Pretty snake. Looks like a T. s. parietalis, with some good red sides?

Finally. They are happy on their own, but a lot of us find that they are more relaxed when housed with other similar garters.
